Manic Systems

Controlled failure.

We are a small group of people striving for better software. In pursuit of this sisyphean task, we maintain a collection of free (not just as in free beer, but as in freedom!) and open source software.

Our main projects you might want to check out are:

Circus: Declarative Nix CI for clowns.
Dix: A tool for diffing Nix related things.
Cade: An intelligent, cascading environment manager.
Inshellah: The last word in Nushell completions.
Tack: Flake-like toml Nix pins, lazily fetched and transformed.
Ncro: A Lightweight HTTP proxy for optimizing Nix cache routes for fast access.
nixos-core: Core NixOS utilities in safe, portable Rust for NixOS and friends
Evix: Library-first async Nix evaluation engine for fast cached eval distribution
